Mike Leonard RIP

Last week, maybe the biggest sports fan in the country passed away.

Mike Leonard, a Willie's regular and huuuuge UC and Buckeye fan, died in Miami attending UC's Orange Bowl appearance.

The Enquirer a great obituary here.

Mike Leonard was a devotee of Cincinnati sports teams – so much so that in 1969, Enquirer sports columnist Jim Schottelkotte dubbed him “Super Fan.”

Mr. Leonard was especially fond of UC, OSU and Indian Hill High School football, the Bengals and Reds. He once watched Ohio State play Purdue in Columbus, then drove to St. Louis where he caught a few winks before proceeding to Kansas City to see the Bengals battle the Chiefs the following day.

He also once stopped off to watch the Bearcats play Tulsa wearing a tuxedo. He was on his way to Madeira where he was to be in a wedding.

May he rest in peace. He'll be missed.
